What is a recording?
Your Pearl can record the output from each channel. (See
for information on creating multi-track
recorders using multiple channels.) Recordings are very robust and crafted so that even in the case of
accidental system shutdown, recording files are closed off and playable.
You can choose to record simultaneously while streaming, or record without streaming.

Recording basics
While recording a channel or recorder, a new file is created each time the maximum time or size limit is met.
Additionally, when recording a multi-channel recorder or a multi-source layout channel, a new file is created if
an additional source is added to the recorder.
Physically removing the source (e.g. unplugging it) or otherwise interrupting the signal to the source does not
affect recording, and the recording will include the configured No Signal image. When recording auto channels,
a new recording is made when the input changes from one to another due to signal loss. Recording is stopped
